De Ketelaere has been linked with a move ever since the start of the summer, given that Milan don’t have him in their plans for the future. When the Rossoneri reached an agreement with Atalanta, the move seemed to be just one step away.
However, as was reported by Gazzetta Dello Sport and Gianluca Di Marzio, the player’s entourage upped the demand during yesterday’s meeting. This has now also been confirmed by Calciomercato.com, stating that pessimism is filtering through.
De Ketelaere has asked for a higher salary (in case he’s bought permanently) than the €2.2m net he currently receives per year. Furthermore, his entourage has asked for very high commissions to make the deal happen.
In short, the deal has become complicated on the home stretch and it’s all because of the player. As the CM report concludes, Milan are not too happy as they would have to find a new destination for the Belgian in case the move breaks down.
